EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting depicts Iris reichenbachii, also known as the small bearded alpine iris, a beautiful and rare flowering plant native to the alpine regions of Europe. Painted in 1922 by the renowned botanical illustrator Frank Harold Round, this artwork captures the elegance and grace of this delicate iris. The painting was inspired by seeds collected near Kromitza, in the N.W. Athos region of Macedonia, Greece, in the year 1914. Iris reichenbachii is a member of the Iridaceae family, which is part of the larger monocotyledonous group of flowering plants, Angiospermae or Angiosperms. This particular iris is characterized by its slender, grass-like leaves and its vibrant blue flowers, adorned with distinctive white beards. The plant is native to the mountainous regions of Europe, primarily in the Balkans and the Carpathian Mountains. Frank Harold Round was a prolific botanical illustrator, whose work spanned over four decades, from the late 1800s to the mid-1900s. His illustrations were widely used in botanical publications and were highly regarded for their accuracy and artistic merit. This painting of Iris reichenbachii is a testament to Round's skill and dedication to capturing the beauty and intricacy of the natural world. The Iris reichenbachii is a valuable addition to any botanical collection, and this stunning watercolor painting is a must-have for anyone with an appreciation for the natural world, botany, or the art of botanical illustration.
